Yemen's Houthis target two vessels in Red Sea, spokesperson claims

The US military's Central Command said on Friday that Yemen's Houthis launched in the past 24 hours four anti-ship ballistic missiles from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen over the Red Sea, adding there were no injuries or damage reported by American, coalition or commercial ships.

Yemen's Houthis launched two military operations targeting two vessels in the Red Sea, the Iran-aligned group's military spokesman Yahya Saree said on Friday.

The Elbella and AAL GENOA vessels were targeted with "a number of drones and ballistic and naval missiles", Saree said in a televised speech.

Saree did not specify the date on which the operations were carried out. Reuters did not receive any reports of incidents in the Red Sea on Friday.
